Özet: Popliteal artery injuries are among the most challenging of all extremity vascular injuries. Herein, we report a 29-year-old male case who had a previous surgery due to right crural gunshot injury. He was admitted with the complaint of rest pain. On lower extremity angiography, the previously implanted saphenous vein graft was observed to be occluded and posterior and anterior tibial arteries were filling from the collaterals. Revascularization of both anterior and posterior tibial arteries was performed with duplicated great saphenous vein. Dual saphenous vein may provide improved configuration and anastomotic patency, compared to single grafts.
